The lesson was incredibly educational and insightful. Philippa was so patient and encouraging during the lesson and gave us the perfect tools to start improving Bowsers confidence and respect.

Thank you for the review. It was great to show you how to address Bowser's behaviours including recall, distance control, jumping, barking, boundaries and training for loose lead walking. Well done to all of you. I look forward to helping and supporting you to make the difference. Bowser is a handsome Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

Phillipa was fantastic on the day teaching a totally different way of training my Pomeranians. It’s so easy it has become an every day part of life. Phillippa’s calm and positive nature was a breath of fresh air. Training was at my pace and nothing like puppy school where you do this, this and this etc. I would highly recommend Phillippa and Bark Busters to anyone.
Trainer note from Philippa
Thank you for the review. It was a pleasure to train with you and beautiful Smudge 5 years and Splat 10 m. Helping with barking, boundaries and other behaviour. They are part of a great pack. Well done Helen for picking up so well on the training and following through.

Philippa is highly recommended, her knowledge of dog behaviour is phenomenal.
The change in our dogs behaviour was noticeable after the first session with Philippa, consistent approach has instilled the training and skills taught by Philippa.
We are grateful Philippa has been able to help us manage our dogs

My wife and I are so grateful to Philippa for the instant calming effect she had on our puppy, Charlotte, who seemed almost out of control at times. After only the first lesson we are much better able to communicate with our puppy and are well on our way to correcting so many of her bad behaviours.
Trainer note from Philippa
Good work Steve and Marilyn and of course beautiful intelligent, lively, Groodle Charlotte. Keep up speaking dog. Helping with jumping, boundaries and loose lead walking. Great to meet you and Charlotte. I look forward to seeing you again.

Philippa was knowledgeable, patient and attentive during our session. She addressed all issues I had concerned with my German Shepard, Jaffa. From barking, fence jumping and walking on the lead. I highly recommend her as Jaffa’s behaviour improved within minutes. She provided handy tips and booklets with everything I needed to continue training Jaffa for a better quality of life for both me and my dog.
Trainer note from Philippa
Both Talia and Jaffa are great students and focused throughout practicing the training. They are set for success. With lifetime support training support is only a call away. Well Done to the pack!

Philippa dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall
Philippa was very professional with her approach when listening to our concerns and explaining techniques. She made sure all our concerns were covered also treating Nellie and Lulu gently and with patience. Nellie and Lulu have responded unbelievably well, so well even the neighbors have commented how quiet it is. With still a little way to go we couldn't recommend Philippa from Bark Busters enough. Money well spent!
Trainer note from Philippa
Great to welcome Lulu to the Bark Busters family and train with Nellie now 8 years again, with lifetime support. Helping with some sibling rivalry, barking and recall. Well done to everyone. Thank you for choosing Bark Busters and for the lovely review. So good to know the progress.

Philippa dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
So far trining has been helpful, a way to go with boring when not present
Trainer note from Philippa
Thank you for your review. I look forward to continuing to work with you and Zeus and Jose to get solutions for the barking when not at home. Well done on the initial training session to establish leadership and communication and help Zeus learn to relax when you are out of sight.

Philippa dealt with Pulling, Recall, Other
Very informative 1st session ( 3 hrs ) with Phillipa, the way she explained communication techniques with dogs was fantastic, so basic but so effective. The change in Odin is just incredible.
Trainer note from Philippa
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Excellent to see Odin a 7year old English Staffi respond so well. Helping with recall, loose lead walking and much more. He was a great student! I look forward to providing ongoing support.

Philippa dealt with Chewing, Digging, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Within 5 minutes of Phillipa coming through gate she instructed me what to do in the situation to having a dog that wanted to run and jump all over her to sitting beside me .
Phillipa has a very calming influence and showed us quite clear instructions so we could understand from a dogs point of view . We feel more confident and positive that we will be able to have Murphy listening and paying attention with the training she has set out for us to do . Feeling very happy by the end of our 1st trading session.Knowing help is always on hand is a nice feeling .Thankyou Philippa
Carol & Tony

Philippa dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Recall
Our little cocker spaniel is still our darling Alfie - but much happier, more obedient and calmer. Phillipa was clear and direct in her instructions, so me and my partner are on the same page. We can't believe the difference after only one session.
Trainer note from Philippa
Great to see Alfie responding so well, and have the opportunity to train with his family. He loves being in a strong pack with good leadership and being able to relax more. I look forward to the next training.

Philippa dealt with Aggression
Some very useful strategies to control her on leash. Collar and leash supplied makes training much easier. It is not a quick fix. Consistent training is needed. Time and patience is required to train our gentle but fearful adopted dog.
Trainer note from Philippa
Pippa has now found her forever loving home with her owners embracing the training with patience, and giving her the best education to help her with confidence and trust.
